From This, to this photo-shopped "Shop Truck" and what it really looks like Today. I'm the 3rd owner. This truck was built at the Fremont California GM plant and is a local Arizona truck.

Thank you. Your truck is really good looking as well, the first picture if it werent for your dog in the back i would guess it to be one of those life like paintings. Looks almost too good to be really with the way photos were take. Thanks for the feedback on mine its a love it or hate it truck it seems i love it though lol.

The front is pretty beat up but I have an excellent NOS grille, a new insert and a new front bumper on standby!

Looks damn good im a bit envious

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

Its going to look a whole lot different in the next few weeks to months. My wife said my box of The Truck Shop parts finally came in and I just ordered $600 worth of engine stuff at Summit today. Going to start bringing parts to the machine shop and talk to my body shop guys about fixing the front fenders, rockers and cab corners (all below the lower molding so I can keep the rest of the paint). A busy winter should make for a fun spring/summer though!

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

Any insight on how you did the fauxtina?

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

Pretty sweet, the only hiccup I see is the primer colors aren't like factory. Cab would be red oxide and everything else would be black. Sweet truck for sure though!

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

what a bunch of cool trucks

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

Hows this for weathered?

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!

I claim no ownership for the paint. The previous owner had done most of it when I bought the truck. He owns a body shop he had said he does it in stages paints it all and lets it dry then uses different grains of sand paper to cut it off. Biggest trick i can see is it seems he may hand brush some areas with regular paint brush. If your truly interested i could contact him or get you his info.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

Thank you. Like i said above... truck was mostly done when i got it. Had guy do the tailgate and hood after. I will be doing some work on chrome and grille. Freshen them up but not too shiny.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

Love the stance may get my springs to finish the rest of my drop. Also curious what you used for fuel pressure gauge i like the look of truck. Its sweet looking.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

Perfect.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

Thanks so much. I just bought the fuelbar and guage at a local mild to wild store. guage is liquid filled.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

Also curious i know you said your working on it but let me know how you like the 400 i got th350 and thought about a th400 or 200r4 just going back and forth.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

I needed the 400 with this torque 383. Their very stout trannies.

Awesome truck

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

Thanks for info

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

mine???

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

Yeah because your patina is real and mines a very close copy. Just real deal looks much better.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
 

Ahhh..OK. I was a bit confused- Thanks! I don't think my truck isn't anywhere near as cool as a lot of the stuff on here- even just in this thread. Looking at these pics just shows me how far I have to go but inspire me as to how cool a ride it'll be when its done.

I stopped by the machine shop this morning- got all my questions answered and saw my buddy at his resto-shop (he had a $2MM dollar cobra in there- real deal, big block car, no bull- I couldn't believe I was standing in the same room as it). He's going to come by and take a look at mine and tell me what he thinks it'll take to do the rockers and cab corners....
